Need someone to stack wood

[Outdoorsman]

Thank you for the response upthesaukee

This work is for my elderly father. The stubborn old man would rather try to bring in a few pieces of wood every day through the snow and freeze his arse off all night than to admit he needs help getting it done.

In years past I was able to do the work myself, but I am not able to get up there as often as I once was and as I age, it is not feasible. I then hired one of the neighbor kids to do the work for him. Unfortunately for me, they moved away this spring and the wood is still outside. There are no other children in the neighborhood that I (or he) is aware of.

Interesting that you mention that. This is the first year that I have had to contract a pest control company to treat his home. First year that I saw evidence of carpenter ants. When I had the work done I was told that they could not guarantee their work if wood was stored inside the home. Of course this is the first year that I noticed ants so I immediately signed up for regular treatments of his home.
